Mint Chocolate Chip Ice cream

Ingredients:
2 bunches fresh mint, stems removed, leaves washed and dried
3 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar
Dash coarse salt
3 ounces finely chopped bittersweet chocolate

Instructions:
1. Chop the mint and place in a glass bowl. Add the cream and stir until blended. Cover and steep in the refrigerator overnight.

2. Strain the mint mixture through a sieve into a clean bowl, pressing on the mint to extract all the liquid. Discard the mint. Stir the sugar, salt and chocolate into the cream and mix well with a rubber spatula. Transfer to an ice cream freezer and freeze according to manufacturer's directions.

Notes:
This made a delicious ice cream--perfect for our 1 quart ice cream maker. At our store, the mint was sold in small a plastic container. I just bought one pack and the ice cream was perfectly minty.
